Chapter 17 Feeling Good About Yourself
If these words had not been spoken by Fang Mingyuan, An Longning's first reaction would have been that the other party was talking nonsense! Chevron Petroleum Company is one of the oil companies currently exploring and exploiting these oil reserves in Cambodia's offshore waters.
The one with the best results and the best mining prospects! In his opinion, as long as the members of the board of directors of Chevron Petroleum Company have no water in their heads, they should not give up on this "hen" that can only lay golden eggs!
"I know that this news will make your country feel a little unbelievable. To be honest, when I received the news, I personally thought that today is April Fool's Day." Fang Mingyuan sighed lightly.
, "However, after my repeated confirmation, it can be basically said with certainty that the board of directors of Chevron Petroleum Company has reached a consensus on this issue and will notify your government in the next few days. Whether it is true or not, you will be informed by then.
The country will know.”
An Longning took a deep breath and suppressed all the messy thoughts in his mind. He is also a person who does big things, so he naturally understands that since things have happened, then thinking about it will be a matter of the future. The top priority is to
Properly resolve the negative impact of Chevron Oil Company’s behavior on Cambodia! Cambodia has a lot of debts. The reason why it was successfully borrowed was because the banks believed that Cambodia would soon exploit oil and generate fiscal revenue.
I only agreed to it if there was a guarantee. In the past two years, there has been no sound from the stairs during Cambodia's offshore oil exploration, and no one has come down. This has made many people feel dissatisfied. If such news breaks out again, I am afraid that the work of borrowing new debts to repay old debts this year will be at a loss.
It's even harder to do.
"I wonder how Mr. Fang got the news? Of course, if it's inconvenient, I won't ask," An Longning said.
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "My Fang family owns almost 5% of the shares in Chevron Oil Company, which is not a secret. However, the minister still has to keep it a secret for me."
An Longning took a breath of cold air, not only because of the huge wealth behind this 5% stake, but also because of this, Chevron Petroleum Company transferred the exploration and mining rights of the oil reserve area A to other companies.
The news from the oil company is confirmed.
"Is there any room for change in this matter?" An Longning asked in a deep voice.
Fang Mingyuan shrugged, spread his hands and said: "Although our family has shares in Chevron Petroleum Company and a seat on the board of directors, you also know that there is no room for us to speak in the Western multinational giants. Unless
If your country is willing to make changes for this, I can help the two parties make peace."
"This is impossible!" An Longning said solemnly. The reason why the originally good relationship between the Cambodian government and Chevron Petroleum Company became what it is today is because Chevron Petroleum Company entered Cambodian waters to explore and exploit oil.
There was an agreement with the Cambodian government that in the future the oil company would pay taxes to the Cambodian government based on 25% of its income. However, later, the Cambodian government felt that the tax of 25% of the income received was low and asked for a change.
The tax was levied at 30%. Chevron Petroleum Company categorically rejected this change, and the two parties suddenly reached a stalemate here. The reason why the Cambodian government rejected Chevron Petroleum Company’s commercial production license in Zone A this year
This is the reason why I applied.
"These oils are the wealth of the Cambodian people, and we must make sure that all Cambodian people benefit from them! We will never recognize those contracts that clearly infringe upon our country's legitimate interests," An Longning said categorically.
Fang Mingyuan sighed softly in his heart. No wonder Chevron Petroleum Company decided to withdraw from Cambodia. It must have been after many unsuccessful communications with the Cambodian government that it made such a decision. He can also understand that Chevron
Why did the board of directors of the oil company make such a decision? No matter how privately everyone uses intrigues and tricks to gain the upper hand, it is a taboo in the business world to say that major adjustments to a formally signed contract will be made without justifiable reasons.
The Cambodian government acted a little too "above and above board" in this matter, without even a fig leaf. This kind of forced modification of the core content of the contract naturally made Chevron Oil Company very dissatisfied.
More importantly, Chevron Oil Company is worried that once it agrees to the Cambodian government's request and sets a precedent, the Cambodian government is likely to impose more conditions that are unacceptable to the company in the future, step by step.
Instead of oppressing the interests that we deserve, we will be in a dilemma at that time... Therefore, since we can't reach an agreement with the Cambodian government, we will simply transfer this exploration and mining rights and withdraw from Cambodia. After all, for an old company like Chevron Petroleum Company
For oil giants, Cambodia’s oil reserves and future production are nothing.
"Then I can only say that I am powerless." Fang Mingyuan said with a bitter smile, "It would be better for you to prepare for this matter in advance."
What An Long Ning just said was decisive and powerful, but he was already miserable in his heart. Chevron Petroleum Company's decision came so suddenly, and the Cambodian government could be said to be unprepared. This sap can be described as a slap in the face.
It was accurate and ruthless. And the chain reaction caused by this also made him foresee that he, the Minister of Finance, would live a troubled life for a long time in the future.
There was a noise not far away. The two looked over and saw a few people being blocked by Fang Mingyuan's entourage. The leader was Jincasuo, and behind him was Bartolomeo.
, Emanuele and several people who appeared to be escorts.
An Longning's eyebrows raised immediately. He was already very upset by the news, but when he saw the appearance of Jin Kasuo and the others, his mood naturally became even worse.
Wu Xingguo came over and asked Fang Mingyuan: "One of those people claimed to be the Minister of Public Works and Transport of Cambodia, and another said that he was the first secretary of the Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office of the Chinese Embassy in the Kingdom of Cambodia, Hai Ting.
Won’t you let them come over?”
Fang Mingyuan was slightly surprised. The Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office of the Embassy of China in the Kingdom of Cambodia is the representative agency of the Ministry of Commerce in Cambodia to manage China's economic and trade work in Cambodia. It is an integral part of the Embassy in Cambodia and is under the dual leadership of the Ministry of Commerce and the Embassy in Cambodia.
, the business is mainly led by the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce, and the counselor responsibility system is implemented. The first secretary is the second-in-command figure after the counselor, and the name seems to be a woman?
Fang Mingyuan glanced at An Longning, and An Longning said knowingly: "Mr. Fang decides whether to meet or not." He had refused to meet Bartolomeo before, mainly because Fang Mingyuan liked to keep a low profile, otherwise
, he wished that the whole world could see Fang Mingyuan appearing in Cambodia and Sihanoukville Port, and having a friendly relationship with him. There are very few people who can take advantage of Fang Mingyuan, but once they do, the effect will be surprising.
Yes, there have been many precedents in the past.
Fang Mingyuan nodded and said: "Let them come over. By the way, we will also invite Mayor Song Chunjiang and Director Gao Xiwen."
"An Longning, this matter is related to the great cause of the revitalization of my country's railway transportation, how can it be delayed..." Before the person arrived, Jin Kasuo's voice had already been heard, which made An Longning feel a little confused. The fire hits upward.
Jin Kasuo, Bartolomeo and others strode over with a somewhat proud smile on their faces. An Longning's face couldn't help but darken a little bit. The reason why Jin Kasuo could be regarded as a member of the royal family
He claimed that there was a reason for this. He was the uncle of the current king of Cambodia, and a prince admired him very much. And this prince not only had a great influence on the king, but he was also a heavyweight in Cambodian politics. An Long Ning
Enough respect must be given to him. An Longning's position is also coveted by many people. Without enough power, it will be difficult for him to secure this position. If possible, he naturally does not want to make enemies in the country.
many.
Moreover, as the Cambodian Minister of Public Works and Transport, Kim Kassot, as the Minister of Public Works and Transport, does have the authority to intervene in the railway repair project, and it is normally led by him because of financial constraints in Cambodia.
, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport simply does not get enough budget allocations, and the reserves for repairs are also obtained by the Ministry of Finance and Foreign Affairs, the Asian Development Bank, and other governments. As a result, Jincasuo is here.
Naturally, his right to speak on a project was weakened. However, it was legitimate for him to intervene in this matter, and An Longning could not deprive him of this right.
"Jin Kasuo, let me say it again, the meter gauge railway repair project is still in the process of raising funds. If you have any opinions on my asking about this matter, then you can prepare the funds for the project yourself, and I will be completely relieved.
, No more questions! Our country is still very poor, and there are many places that need funds. It is up to me and the donors to change the use of the funds in my hand." An Longning said coldly. In front of Fang Mingyuan, Jin Kasuo
Still not giving him due respect, An Longning naturally cannot be suppressed by Jin Kasuo, otherwise, Fang Mingyuan will probably doubt whether he has the value of cooperation! This is a major event related to his future career development, Rong
Don’t give in even a little bit!
An Longning's face darkened and he said harsh words. Jin Kasuo's arrogance immediately weakened a bit. If he had the ability to raise so much funds, he would naturally not have to come to An Longning.
"Minister An Long Ning and Minister Jin Kasuo are just entrusted by us to give us an introduction. Our Huaqinte Construction Group Co., Ltd. is a world-renowned builder. Your country's meter gauge railway repair project is very important to our company.
"There are no technical difficulties, and it can be completed with guaranteed quality, quantity, and deadline. It's just that Minister An Ronin didn't even give us a chance to meet and talk, which really makes us very disappointed." Bartolomeo took a step forward.
He smiled and said, "We come here with great sincerity."
An Longning snorted coldly, looked at Bartolomeo up and down and said, "Is your great sincerity just to force your way in here and disturb my meeting with my distinguished guests?"
Bartolomeo's eyes turned to Fang Mingyuan. Although his face was full of smiles, there was no smile in his eyes and he said: "This is Minister An Longning's distinguished guest, right? I don't know how to call him? Where is he?"
Gao Jiu? This is Ms. Haiting, the first secretary of the Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office of the Embassy of China in the Kingdom of Cambodia. She knows well-known companies and celebrities in China very well, why do you think you are so unfamiliar? "
Fang Mingyuan burst into laughter. He wanted to say something to Bartolomeo, do you feel too good about yourself?
His eyes fell on the woman named Hai Ting, who was in her thirties, wearing a professional skirt, of medium appearance, standing next to Bartolomeo and others. "Secretary Hai Ting Hai
,How did you get involved in this matter?"
Haiting looked at Fang Mingyuan with some surprise and uncertainty. She was in charge of project contracting, labor cooperation and other business in Cambodia at the Economic and Commercial Counselor's Office. She happened to meet Emanuele and the others at Sihanoukville Port today.
At the invitation of Eli, she also wanted to see this island resort owned by the Cambodian royal family, but she did not expect to meet Jin Kasuo. However, in her opinion, meeting Jin Kasuo was not a bad thing. Contracting in Cambodia
Projects, the largest contractor is undoubtedly the Cambodian government. Having a good relationship with Jincasso is very beneficial for Chinese companies to undertake public projects in Cambodia.
It was just the next development of the matter that made her even more confused. When she and Jin Kasuo's group came to the island, they learned that An Longning was also here. It was said that he was still receiving a distinguished guest from China. In Jin Kasuo,
Under Cassel's strong request, she was also curious. In addition, both Cassel and Emanuele promised to provide her with work conveniences in the future, so they came together to see if they could be personally received by An Longning. Balto
Who is that very young Chinese distinguished guest that Lomeo and Emanuele talked about!
However, although she did not recognize Fang Mingyuan, after working overseas for many years, she could still clearly feel that Fang Mingyuan did not care about her identity, and the tone of his questions was also the tone of a superior.
"I... it just happened to be the right time. Counselor Emanuele originally just invited me to visit the island." Hai Ting said with some lack of confidence.
Fang Mingyuan's eyes fell on Emanuele again, but he said to Haiting calmly: "In this case, don't get involved. Minister An Longning, please make arrangements to send her back to Sihanoukville."
Let’s go to Kegang. From now on, we must be more vigilant.”
